  1. On a vaguely-related note, in light of various comments made earlier in this thread about "British Culture" being eroded or forgotten about, I strongly recommend reading the following blog entries by a fellow named Andrew Rilstone

     

    Yes, sorry about not getting back to you about the British culture thing - but with hindsight I realise I have fallen into the tabloid trap and have let me brain go floppy on the subject. Im not proud of this - and I now realise it's all bollocks what they say.

     

    'True' examples of 'British' culture - ie, pubs, Oxbridge, Wimbledon, maypoles, caber-tossing (Im just thinking of random examples), fun-runs, street parties, real-ale festivals, Cornish pasties, Devon cream teas, Morris dancing, the boat race, Ascot, The Grand National, Chelsea flower show etc etc (you get the point) will probably always be around in some guise or other....

  2. Wolvy I think you should seize this opportunity to move out. It will be good for you to gain some independenec from your family.

     

    AGREED!!!!!!!! With knobs and bells on! To me it's a no-brainer. If you like the friend, get on, and can trust him, and you're in a stable job...go for it.

    Bo and Tilly look very cute together btw.

  3. Because it's way too cold and rainy outside. :lol:

     

    Have a few friends round for beers indoors then?

    Sorry to hear about your uncle btw...

     

    Christian, I agree, getting in touch with your emotions should be a sober experience...I will mention the fact I felt I needed a whole bottle of wine tonight when I see my counsellor.

     

    Thanks for the advice...

  4. I like Angelina for him, unlike Aniston - who i didnt like at all

     

    I agree.

     

    (Alan Rickman makes for a good third, he got me

    with - that tango)

     

    What tango? Is he in a new film?

     

     

    one has got to find pleasure in small, trivial things

    story of my life.

     

    btw, want to share your new crushes?

    I am currently in love with all the members of Japan, the 80's art-pop band. I've always been mad about them but sometimes it gets worse.

  5. I first sketched an outline of her features in pencil using the photograph as a reference and then when I was happy with that I went over it in black ink. I then scanned this image into the computer and coloured it, basically just painting by numbers really. Then just overlayed against the background I nicked from the GTA:San Andreas poster.

     

    Clever bugger. :D

  6. no my counsellor didnt say drink while listening to music...but as I knew it would be a real sledgehammer emotional experience I had to have a little help.

     

    Believe me under normal circumstances I would cry at this music without having to touch a drop. I just needed a little crutch on this occasion.

     

    Funny you should mention writing Christian - she also recommended I write to Mum and try and get the emotion out that way too...

     

    Gen, my thoughts are with you as the anniversary of your Mum's death approaches.

     

    ....Ow, my head hurts. :wacko:

  7. I am drunk as fuck and fucked up.

     

    I am currently having bereavement counselling. I cant seem to get upset properly over my Mother's death. So i mentioned to my counsellor that music is the only thing that turns me into emotional mush.

     

    I am surrently (currently) listening to a beloved piece of music by an English 20th Century composer by the name of Michael Tippett which at the mere mention of its name is enough to bring tears to my eyes, it means that much to me.

     

    I have had an entire bottle of wine and am in floods of tears. Bu t this is what my counsellor said I must do so I am doing it. SO THEREFORE IT IS NOT SELF INDULGENT. IT IS NOT.

     

    It is cathartic, apperently. So take note...if you lose a parent and have trouble expressing your grief please listen to music. Your grief will show itself.

     

    I know I will sleep well after this.Crying is very relaxing.

  8. I fear that I have built up my capacity for the booze (or beer at least) to a point where my liver is squeaking in protest.

     

    the liver is BAD and needs PUNISHING!

     

    Anyway - I have given up red wine and can now get happily sloshed on pink or white wine with no aftereffects or conflict with the old anti-depressants. Which is nice.
